Dumb rumors from classic

[Master Roshi]

That Fine Plate could be dyed AFTER the fact, leading to many scammers claiming to be smiths and saying "I'll dye your armor black, for 50pp, just hand me the bp!"

If you escape rope out of SS Anne the ship never sails away so you can come back to the area later and surf around. I remember fighting a bunch of those shell fish style pokemon there.

The rumour about pushing a truck in that area with strength to get mew is genius because there is actually a truck parked up on an island in that area!

It's strange that they put so much detail in that area of the game seeing as all you were meant to experience was the pier and the ship :S.

The truck rumor probably began because of the existence of the truck. There's no way to use strength at this point in the game, however. Even if you traded for something WITH strength, I'm fairly certain you require the badge from Koga or something to use it.

Fine Plate is dyed AFTER it is made. It's just that once it's dyed it cannot be dyed again (i.e. dying recipes require the undyed stuff.)

Lithiniath Black Unicorn Against Pogrowth faction If you hailed him and asked for Phat Lewts his reply was the following.

Lithiniath says 'Prince Thirneg of the Tunarean Court has amassed a vast supply of phat lewts! Perhaps you should ask him for some!'

Which was basicly sending you into Pogrowth to ask Prince Thirneg for Phat Lewts. Which Lets say he does give you a fat something but loots is not it. was at the the time i think a 20k death touch.

There were too many theories on how to spawn several very rare spawns to even keep track of. Two that come to mind were the Ancient Cyclops in SRO and Quillmane. I'm not sure if any of these theories ever turned out to be correct, but some of them were flat out ridiculous. One I remember about the AC was something to do with killing all mobs in one of the towers at a certain time of day.

Camping a rare spawn caused it to spawn less.

Short races got hit less than large races (they're smaller therefore harder to hit!)

There were all sorts of theories about what each stat did since they were never really explained. To this day I'm not entirely sure what DEX and AGI do. I remember some people also thought that having a low CHA value made fear spells work better.
